Digital Image Enhancement

Digital image manipulation is defined as the altering of an image using computer program tools and software to produce a contrived image, often generating new meaning. It involves already existing imagery, such as photographs, films or videos, being subsequently worked on in a multitude of possible ways. Computers are now used as controlling devices, and for digitising and managing visual information. Photos are able to be modified or retouched by computer graphics in software such as Adobe Photoshop to produce a result that is so high in quality that it is almost impossible to tell if the photo has been manipulated. (Warren, 1993).

However, I like to call what I do digital image enhancement. With over 3 years of extensive Adobe Photoshop experience, I have the ability to not only create websites from scratch but also adjust the color, size and density of any digital image for multiple uses - including web design, desktop printing and off-set printing.

A few oth the techniques that are offered are:

• skin smoothing & anit-aging
• portrait glamorization
• color manipulations
• removal of unwanted objects
